The baby’s distraught mother Nechole Crowell had her flasher lights on and flagged down Deputy Nix, then rushed out of the vehicle with baby King.

Deputy Nix then kneeled on the ground to administer CPR and other life-saving measures to the three-month-old.

When the officer wasn’t noticing an improvement in King’s breathing, he hurried back into his vehicle and took off to the nearby Ocala Regional Medical Center.

The Marion County Sheriff’s Office shared heartwarming updates about baby King’s state afterward.

‘Deputy Nix delivered the child to medical personnel, who then began treating the child. We are happy to report that Baby Kingston is doing very well and doctors say he will make a full recovery!!,’ the department’s YouTube page said.

‘Doctors also said that because of K9 Deputy Nix’s actions, Baby Kingston is alive today. We are tremendously proud of Deputy Nix and we can already see that he and Baby Kingston will have a deep connection that will last a lifetime!!’

Precious photos taken inside the hospital show the smiling deputy as he stood next to baby King, whose eyes are wide open, in his hospital bed.
